7.5% of ammonia, equivalent to 6.18% nitrogen, and 38.62% protein. 

 If the goods contain less than 38.62% of protein, it must be branded 

 "Cotton-seed Feed," or be designated by a name that does not contain 

 the word "meal." 



Tavo of the three official samples of meal reported here were 1.07% 

 and 2.25% below guarantee ( 38.56 %o). 



Five unofficial samples, sent in for analysis by private citizens, ranged 

 from 31.88% to 39.8% protein, one only being above guarantee. 



Six official samples of cotton-seed feed "were guaranteed to contain 20 

 to 25% protein and were found to contain 20.63% to 27.76% of protein. 



Lumping the cotton-seed meals and cotton-seed feeds together, they 

 range as follows in guarantee and analysis : 



COKIV, CRACKED CORIV, CORN CHOPS, CORN BRAN. 

 (Analyses, pages 66, 67.) 



Whole corn, or other grains, when unmixed, are not subject to the 

 feed control law; one analysis (corn), however, is given here. Thirteen 

 other analyses are reported, seven being of official samples. The 

 cracked corn, imported into the State, was properly guaranteed ; but 

 there seems to be a tendency on the part of some manufacturers in the 

 State to neglect this. However, the unguaranteed samples were of 

 rather higher grade than the guaranteed. The range of guarantee and 

 analysis (cracked corn) is as follows : 



One sample, corn chops (133), was found to be abnormally high in 

 fat (7.20 per cent).
